Answer: QS=68 units

Step-by-step explanation:

RT=RS+ST

8x-43=2x-4+4x-1

8x-43=6x-5

8x-43-6x=6x-5-6x

2x-43=-5

2x-43+43=-5+43

2x=38

Divide both parts of the equation by 2:

x=19

QS=RS+RQ

As, RS=RQ

QS=2RS

QS=(2)((2)(19)-4))

QS=(2)(38-4)

QS=(2)(34)

QS=68

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$2x^2+8x-30$ represents the total perimeter of the table, and if x = 3 the lentgh of entire rubber bumper is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is defined as the sum of sides.

For a rectangle having dimension length 'L' and breadth 'B' Since, rectangle has two sides equal.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( length + breadth )

Here, given rectangle has dimension

Length = $2x^2-16$ and breadth = $-x^2+4x+1$

Thus, perimeter of rectangle = $2(2x^2-16+(-x^2+4x+1))$

$=2(2x^2-16-x^2+4x+1)$

$=2(x^2+4x-15)$

$=2x^2+8x-30$

Thus, perimeter of rectangle is $2x^2+8x-30$ ........(1)

Perimeter of rectangle , when x = 3,

Put x= 3 in (1) ,

$2x^2+8x-30\Rightarrow 2(3)^2+8(3)-30 \Rightarrow 18+24-30=12$

Thus, $2x^2+8x-30$ represents the total perimeter of the table, and if x = 3 the lentgh of entire rubber bumper is 12 feet.

Answer:

a) 7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

$y-\frac{y-1}{2}=1-\frac{y-2}{3} \\Through\ the\ butterfly\ method\ of\ resolving\ denominators\ ,\\\frac{2y-(y-1)}{2} = \frac{3-(y-2)}{3} \\\frac{2y-y+1}{2} = \frac{3-y+2}{3} \\\frac{y+1}{2} =\frac{5-y}{3} \\3(y+1)=2(5-y)\\3y+3=10-2y\\3y+2y=10-3\\5y=7\\y=\frac{7}{5}$
